Power amp for Reference 3A speakers?

Our customers have always reported good results with the Ref 3As. They are very tube friendly- you won't have any trouble finding a good amp for them.

I had very good results with 8wpc 300B monos - a little more power might be best. Tubes rule.

I have a vtl 5.5 pre and a st 85 vtl amp, it replaced bryston .5 pre&4b amp .What a difference, lots of base, sweet highs and every thing in between.I bought the amp for $1000 used.

I'm using an Anthem Amp 1 (40 watts EL34 tubes) and Anthem Pre 2L. They sound great and I have lots of headroom on the power (I never get past 10 o'clock on my preamp volume. Good bass, great mids and highs.

I auditioned the Ref3a's a few years ago and they sounded great being powered by a Shindo amp and preamp. I don't recall which model's the Shindo were, but they were really good.
